I would absolutely hate to lose Monken; a great offensive coach with a real down to earth grounding in reality. Getting the right personality fit that works for the coaches and the players is getting tougher to find now days and one that the alumni find equally entertaining has got to be very rare indeed…..

Yes – who could Gundy pull out of his hat to keep the Dana, Monken streak alive (caffeinated, salty, and sometimes NSFW)…

slideshow worked for me – and OSU was 15. Louisville which is number 1 on the list has basketball revenue of $40million. How does their basketball team generate that kind of revenue?? I think OSU’s bball rev was listed at $14million. Ticket sales i would think are only 1/2 of that? Merchandising? But then I’m not sure why Duke or North Carolina wouldn’t top the list. Very interesting.

Fraud. That’s the only reason I can come up with…

Maybe give him a head coach in waiting title. Not so much to keep him here until Gundy retires (because he’ll be more likely to pull a Muschamp than stay), but maybe it’ll keep him here an extra year or two.

Monken continually out-Monkens himself.

Could we call that Monkening?

if Monken ever leaves for greener pastures – then good for him. I’m sure we’ll all wish him the best. but HC in waiting?? Gundy is only 40-something. if Monken leaves, the blue print for the O is already there and was there before he arrived. As long as we don’t go back to Gundy running the O and ignoring the D – we’ll be good.

Most of the tattoos are Bible verses – not that that matters, except it makes the original article somewhat ironic.

Monken has a good gig at Okie State, and I think he knows that. Seems like a level-headed guy. Look at how well things have turned out for Dana at WVU. Another repeat of this year’s performance (which I think they are headed for), and my guess is they start calling for his head. My point being, sometimes people aren’t a fit for higher level jobs/management, and I’m not saying Monken isn’t, but I bet that this thought has crossed his mind.
